Buying a suit
Actual exchange from the last time I bought a suit (which will probably be the last for some time):
Salesman: How much were you planning on spending today?
Joshua: Oh, I don’t know, maybe $300?
Salesman: (Rueful chuckle:) No. But maybe $400.
Joshua: OK. I was thinking something with a European cut.
Salesman: (Rueful chuckle:) No. You’re not built for a European cut. Here’s a nice suit for $400.
Joshua: Um, I was hoping that would include a shirt and tie…
Salesman: (Rueful chuckle:) No. (etc.)
Kinda reminiscent of Dave Barry trying to make an offer on the real estate agent’s office, no?
At the end of the ass-rape, I thanked him. Can you believe that? Sick, sick! Holding onto his picture, dressing up (in that suit!) every day…
Hello, where am I? Sorry.
